Best time for us to call

What is an IVA?

An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is an agreement with the people you owe money to. You make affordable payments over a period of time (usually 5-6 years) and at the end, your remaining debts are written off.

What is a Debt Management Plan?

A debt management plan (DMP) allows you to pay back your creditors each month at an amount you can afford. The DMP lasts until you have repaid your debts in full or your circumstances improve.

What is a Self-employed IVA?

A self-employed Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is an agreement to pay back what you owe whilst still running your business. You make affordable payments over a period of time (usually 5-6 years) and at the end, your remaining debts are written off.

What is a Debt Relief Order?

A debt relief order is a solution available if you are not able to afford any payments to people you owe to. It freezes debts for a year at which time they are written off if your circumstances have not improved.

What is Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is a type of insolvency that involves applying to the court in order to clear your debts. There is an upfront fee and you may be required to make payments from your earnings into the bankruptcy for up to 3 years.

The level of consumer debt in Britain has reached a staggering £1.424 trillion (as of April 2013*). There has always been a stigma attached to those who are in debt, with the feeling that the debtors have knowingly overspent and lived beyond their means. This is true in very few cases and debts can be caused by circumstances that are out of the individual’s control, which could include:

Personal circumstance

Economic reasons

Other reasons
